While many believe fish waste may be enough for plants to grow, there is a lack of vital elements which plants need, and these aren’t found naturally in an aquarium. Blue Planet Thrive contains Iron, a key element plants need to produce a lush, green appearance. Combined with effective lighting and your plants won’t stop growing. Live aquarium plants, work best in community tanks or with fish that do not dig or destroy them. A well established plant aquarium also ensures algae is minimised. Algae and plants absorb the same nutrients which mean many faster growing plants will take these nutrients away from the algae therefore reducing potential for algae growth. Consider this as part of the overall management of algae problems in the aquarium.
